As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 , a whack-a-mole toy 10, including a shell 1, a pressing assembly 2 arranged on the shell 1, and a reset assembly 3 slidingly arranged on the shell 1. The shell 1 is configured to install the pressing assembly 2 and the reset assemble 3. The pressing assembly 2 is configured to deform or slide under external force pressing, for example, the pressing assembly 2 may deform or slide when being pressed by a user. The reset assembly 3 is configured to slide under external force action, so as to top-resist the pressing assembly 2 for resetting, for example, the reset assembly 3 may slide when being pressed by the user.

The pressing assembly 2 includes a plurality of reset keys 21 exposed outside the shell 1; the reset assembly 3 includes an elastic member 31 arranged in the shell 1, a reset seat 32 slidingly arranged on the shell 1, a top-resisting member 33 arranged on the reset seat 32, and the reset seat 32 is exposed outside the shell 1.

The reset keys 21 are stressed so as to depress inside the shell 1, the reset seat 32 drives the top-resisting member 33 to slide, the top-resisting member 33 top-resists the reset keys 21 for sliding reset or deformation reset, and the elastic member 31 provides acting force that drives the reset seat 32 to reset. The reset keys 21 depressed inside the shell 1 herein means that the reset keys 21 are depressed inwards in relative to the whole shell 1, and doesn’t necessarily mean that the reset keys 21 themselves are depressed. Of course, the depression of the reset keys 21 themselves occurs inside the shell 1 as far as the shell 1.

It can be understood that the user can press, push or knock and the like through the reset keys 21. The elastic member 31 is configured to drive the reset seat 32 to be always exposed outside the shell 1, that is, when pressing the reset seat 32, the elastic force of the elastic member 31 needs to be overcome. The top-resisting member 33 is configured to move in relative to the shell 1 under the drive of the reset seat 32, so as to top-resist the reset keys 21 and make the reset keys 21 reset.

It is to be noted that the reset keys 21 may be configured to be made of materials that easily deform or do no easily deform when being stressed, preferably, the reset keys 21 are made of the materials that easily deform when being stressed, on the one hand, the comfort level of the user during a pressing operation is improved, and on the other hand, the reset keys 21 have higher deformability and are not easily damaged. For example, the reset keys 21 may be made of rubber. When a plurality of reset keys 21 are provided, each reset key 21 may have the same size or different sizes; the setting position of various reset key 21 may be flexibly selected, preferably each reset key 21 is arranged on the same surface exposed on the shell 1, so that the user performs the operation only when facing the same surface of the shell 1, and the use convenience is improved.

The elastic member 31 may be a spring, a plurality of elastic members 31 may be provided, the elastic force may be applied to the reset seat 32 from a plurality of different positions when arranging the plurality of elastic members 31, so as to prevent tilt and shift of the reset seat 32 during a reset sliding process, thereby avoiding sliding blockage or stop of the reset seat 32.

Similarly, the reset seat 32 is exposed outside the shell 1, and a hole, a slot or a channel and the like may be drilled on the shell 1 so that the reset seat 32 passes through for exposure. A side that the reset seat 32 is exposed on the shell 1 and a side that the reset key 21 is exposed on the shell 1 are two opposite sides. Thus, when the user performs operation in the side, where the reset key 21 is located, the reset may be completed by pressing the reset seat 32 on an opposite side of the shell 1, so as to directly complete reset and carry out the next round of operation, and the operation is very convenient.

The top-resisting member 33 may be directly connected to the reset seat 32, or connected to the reset seat 32 through other intermediate elements, or directly formed on the reset seat 32 through an integrated forming method. The top-resisting member 33 may be columnar, blocky or pie-shaped, and the minimum requirement on the shape, length or thickness and the like is that the reset keys 21 depressed in the shell 1 is top-resisted under the drive of the reset seat 32 so as to complete the reset.
